my world. our world. Gods world. world world.

Let me unravel my scrabbled brain. Or at least a part.
This past week so many things splattered through my brain. However, one thing I realized is. I know nothing of worth except what God chooses to reveal to me. Because knowledge is empty without wisdom, wisdom is only from God.

For a while now it has been stirred within me that the way "Christians" see missions is some what skewed.

i feel like often we say "oh we are bringing God to the needy, to the lost, to the hungry" etc.
but God is the creator.
we are the created.

im pretty sure we are not bringing him anywhere he is already there.

Moreover, in the same breath, what is becoming increasingly apparent to me, is that if God is truth, and he is everywhere, then our job is not to "bring" him anywhere but to point him out amongst the congestion of sin and deceit in the world.

i remember sitting on a balcony in Egypt listening to the call of prayer ring out over the land and thinking of the devotion that the Muslims have to pray 5 times a day. What if we as Christians lived our prayer life out like that. What would that look like?

sure, they don’t have everything right. However, in reality do we as Christians?

but it made me think how much we can learn from other religions. How each of us posses some of the truth of God. And how we can see glimpses of his character and truth in others- even if they do bow down to other gods.


Coming on the same level, learning the cultures of the people we are approaching, is so important. The bible is full of prophets who were examples of this. Paul, in Acts uses the ‘unknown god’ to speak of the one true God is a perfect example.

Sometimes I think the most powerful thing we can do. Is sit. Shut our mouths. Open our eyes. Listen. Learn.

To seek the truth, and point it out.

To see God.
Where we thought we never would.
